How do you know you’ve made great friends? When you decide on a vacation week and someone shows up and says, “I covered for you”.  That is what happened this week with Ash Thompson, also known as the “man with the oversized football brain.” Ash is the kind of guy that everyone needs in their life. Give him some love for stepping up via Twitter! Ash has been a writer for the site since the very beginning and has put together an excellent off-season roundup for those who are hungry for Lions chat during this slow period ahead of Training Camp. Huge thanks to Ash, and we hope you enjoy his show! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
